As the days get shorter and colder, the Turning Point hopes to help the community by providing a warm, friendly, safe social space. To that end, we are changing our Saturday hours to be open 5pm-9pm! The 10am meeting will still take place, but this will allow us to plan more activities and events for the weekend evening hours.
